5.0 out of 5 stars Teach yourself all about real estate on the Internet, March 12, 2000

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Today: e-Real Estate : Buying, Selling and Financing a Home Online (Paperback)

Robert Bruss, a Bay Area lawyer and real estate broker, has written a review of this book that appeared 3/11/2000 in the San Jose Mercury News. Excerpts of his review follow:

...one of those rare real estate books that cannot be recommended to highly. Before you buy, sell, finance, auction or invest in real estate, check out the Web sites evaluated by this book. Readers who are not internet savy will quickly feel at home with this book with emphasis on Web site locations and attributes, not computer technicalities. Every homewoner, buyer, real estate investor and agent should have a copy of this book on their desks for easy reference, right next to their computers. That's where I keep mine. On a scale of 1 to 10, this superb book rates an off the chart 14, the highest rating I've ever given to a real estate book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference to go along with internet surfing, December 27, 2000

By 

Gina Hinds - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Today: e-Real Estate : Buying, Selling and Financing a Home Online (Paperback)

This is a great book with many very up to date links that can compliment your real estate purchasing along with using the internet.

He goes through which search engines are best to get to a very specific target as well as many online mortgage sites; bank sites. He goes into all aspects of buying "distressed property" which is something that we specialize in, so we found this a very good book.

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Today: e-Real Estate : Buying, Selling and Financing a Home Online (Paperback)

Not only did I waste money on this worthless book, I wasted a fortune on trying to sell my home using the advise of this guy. By the time I'm done, what little profit I made will surely go to my attorney to keep the buyers of my home off my back.
